I have a plot of land in Mavoko around an acre with original title, paid land rates etc
I was working in UG for 2 years and when moved back I found people living in constructed stone houses and there were subdivisions all over the plot work of conmen. Want to know what the procedures are to have them removed off.
Thanks

Descend on them at 2 am flatten and cart away everything.

Hakuna occupancy sasa tuende Korti bandia

You could as well recognize them as your tenants, enter into formal agreement and lease them the land if they cooperate. In the mean time you should engage a learned friend to issue them with a demand notice for mense profits if you have absolute title to the property. If you will intend to evict avoid creating tenancy. Evicting a tenancy is a odorous journey and may require you to engage an auctioneer instead of a court order. Anyway, whatever their property in your land is alienable property to cover your costs in the first instance. my choice of action is, flatten if you have the muscle power. in coart anything goes. cashflow 101. Waitiki wa mavoko diye huyu mwingine wazuans. Pole brother. adverse takeover is a recognized method of property acquisition im Kenya too, so long as u have proof of occupation for over ten years. Act in tym. and beware of the Kayole case...... wanaeza maliza wewe asap na tusome kwa news after calling you a armed thug.

Move swiftly and clear everything on the land to reset the system otherwise as it stands you are at a loss!!Remember possession(occupation) is nine point in law.

As @Maka adviced him, he should do a search on the land first and the history of the title transfer(s).

And the flattening is done by faceless Kenyans. This is Kenya!!! The fellow will claim he doesn't know who flattened the houses but the land is his!!

You don't see structures on land being claimed by county councils (nowadays Counties) being demolished by men guarded by scores of armed policemen and the county council (County) claim they are not aware who did the demolition but they will not allow any rebuilding on their land??? Did you see what happened to Nakumatt Thika Road before the super highway was done!!

We have seen land cases taking 10, 20 or even 30 years. And in most cases fellows will run to court to maintain the status quo before the case is determined. And they always get it!!! Then they use all tactics to drag the court case. Just make sure the status quo is in your favour - zero structures in your land!!!

Hiyo ndiyo Kenyan style!!!!

Interesting views right here.

I'm with @MB on this one. After you ascertain the land is yours,flatten everything. They won't. go to court coz the slow and tedious judicial system will now work in your favour. They also won't dare build again coz you can get a court induction to stop the construction or demolish the houses after the are rebuilt. Bandit economy!

kwani uliajiriwa na ndugu mawinder?

Get both a lawyer and a surveyor to help you know the truth. Then pursue the people who have encroached on your land to the end!!!
